Season of the Witch: The Haunting of Moll Dyer | Her Cursed Rock & the Ghost in the Woods

During the bitter winter of 1698, Moll Dyer was driven from her home in St Mary’s County, Maryland, after local people blamed her for sickness and misfortune and accused her of witchcraft. According to the legend, she escaped her burning cabin only to freeze to death beside a large rock deep in the woods, leaving behind the impression of her hand and a curse upon those responsible. More than three hundred years later, Moll’s rock still exists, while stories of strange lights, sudden fog, shadowy figures and Moll herself continue along the road and woodland that carry her name.

As summer wanes and the nights grow long, we turn to tales of witches, curses, and the old ways that never truly died. For centuries, harvest time has carried its own magic: charms for fields, blessings for homes, and darker stories of those who bent nature to their will.
